cut it with his knife, and, having
satisfied himself that it was genuine, passed
it around until all had had chance to OK
anime 1t. The bar was then sent to an
assayer, with the request that he return his
analysis at the earliest possible moment
A banquet had been conditionally arranged
for the party in the evening, and as soon as
the assay was found to be satisfactory (the
bar being valued at sl,l00), Mr.. Hardness
and his guests repaired to fashionable
hotel, where the great event was appropri-
ately celebrated. Tho whole future OF hu-
manity was revolutioniZed and all social
problems solved by this discovery. The
conversation and the toasts turned chiefly
upon the necessity OF limiting the produc-
ton, so as not TO give too severe shock to
the commercial world.
For three weeks Wachtmeistcr now la
bored steadily in dingy little laboratory
which he had improvised in an empty back
room in the Hardness block. He delivered
to the millionaire from time to time small
bars of gold which the assay proved to be
genuine; but he complained greatly at be-
ing obliged to- work under such disadvan-
tages. with imperfect light and no facilities
for extended production. He dined almost
daily with Hardness, who, as he came to
know him, was more and more dazzled by
his brilliant talk, scientific requirements,
and inexhaustible fund OF anecdotes.
-"You be on the look out, DOCTOR" he said
TO him one evening as they sat slipping their
Chartrcuse and smoking high-favored Ha-
vanas; "ifyou see any thing that'll suit you
for laboratory, you just let mo know and
I'll plank down the cash.
The Teuton betrayed no emotion ut this
proposal; but about week later, when
there was tremendous excitement on
change at the revelation of corner in
Hardness favoritc stock, he rushed breath
lcssly into the latter's Office with copy Of
the Alta in his hand.

A BAD BLUNDER.
The New Revenue Act Not At
tested by the Proper
Officials.

HARRISBURG, May 3l.-The aston
ishing discovery was made to-day
that tie new revenue act now under
action of the Governor cannot become
a law, because it lacks the Constitu-
tional requirement of being signed by
the presiding officers OF both branches
of the Legislature. Ia short, the
revenue bill never received the sigma
lures of President pro TEN Smith nor
Lieut.. Gov. Davies in the Senate.
Coy. Beaver was 10th to believe that
the bill was dead, but there was no
alternative, and he consulted with
State Treasurer Quay, Auditor Gen
cral Norris and Secretary Stone over
the matter, The result was decis-
ion that the incompleteness of the sig
Latures killed the bill.
There are several reasons given as
to how the law was thus sent to the
Governor, but the most plausible Is
that when it was signed by the
Speaker of the House the Message
Clerk in the House forgot to take it
10 the Senate for the signature of the
chief officer of that body, but instead
took it to the Executive Department.
The Senate record as to concurring
in the report Of the Committe, OF
Conference is all right and the House
was informed of this action. The bill
must be taken to the Governor by the
Message Clerk of the branch in which
it originates and in this case it was
Message Clerk Taylor's duty after it
was signed by the President of the
Senate
There are some who say that it
was the work of some OF the corpora
tions which are heavily taxed by the
new law, but this can hardly hold
good. The new act gave TO counties
one half of the personal tax levied,
about 81 100000 q year, and it is in
timated that tho Governor will be
asked to call an extra session Of the
Legislature According to his pres
ent views, however, the Governor
will not call the extra session. There
will be a great cutting down Of appro-
priations, but this will depend upon
the estimated returns to the State OF
moneys under the high license act.

cially we heartily sympathize
Resolved IL. That we hereby
pledge ourselves to work increasingly
for the principles we have thus ap-
proved, and we urge the candid,
thoughtful voters of all parties to give
respectful consideration to our declar-

ally do we appeal to the Christian
Church to throw its mighty influence
by the voice of the pulpit and the
votes Of its members against this ter
rible destroyer Of mems bodies and

One good provision which the
High License bill contained when il
left the House was destroyed by the
Senate. The measure as it was pass
ed in the lower House would have
done away with some of the "Judi-
cial Anarchy" which now prevails in
the State on the license question, and
secured degree of uniformity in the
rulings of the courts. But the amend
ment of the Senate restores the vague
mesa of the old law and will conse.
quently preserve the confusion. The
bill came to the Senate with this pro-
viso: THAT all the additional petit
tions and remonstrances allowed by
this section shall be based on the ne
cessity Of the license to sell liquor or
the fitness Of the applicant, and not
on the necessity OF the hotel, inn," &c
The Senate struck out the words
"and not on" and inserted "or" ia
their place. This change seems to
be nothing else than an attempt to
render the proviso meaningless.-EG

WHERE HE WILL WINTER.

By this time it will probably be
getting so late in the year that Spain
and Italy will be comfortable. We
intend to make tour through both
of these countries and spend next
winter along the Mediterranean. We
will probably make long visits in
Rome and Greece, perhaps stop a
brief time in Constantinople, and Wis
it the scenes of the earthquake in the
south Of France and adjoining por-
tions of Italy. A year is sufficient to
cover great deal Of ground without
hurryiug.
The correspondent asked: "How
about the report, Mr.. Blaine that you
contemplate in some way assisting
Mr.. Gladstone and the Home Rule
partyW
"That story is purely ina gination.
| never had such an idea in my mind.
No, indeed, shall do nothing of the
kind"
'It has been widely published that
your trip to Europe is for the benefit
of your health Is that the case?
cit is very curious about that re-
port. | have been made sick by va
rious newspapers at various times,
and first aud last have been made to
have nearly every malady that !
know of. l have had Bright's disease,
a torpid liver, affection of the heart,
paralysis, nervous debility, and, we'll,
| don't know now, but, at any rate, a
good many other diseases. AS !
said, it is curious how the stories
start. l have, in fact, been singular
ly free from sickness. | have had
hardly sick day ia my life, never at
any time serious; and l never had an
organic trouble Of any kind"
THE BURCHARD INCIDENT.
Mr.. Blaine positively declined to
talk about politics, except that, willie
in conversation with the correspon
dent in his cottage at Bar Harbor, he
said, in regard to the Burchard Incl
dent of 1884: Il did not bear what
be said, but the reporters heard it,and
next day every paper in the country
had it, of course. But. as matter
of fact, l did not hear it myself.
Away out in Indiana they had it that
| said it. Ga, yes, it went all over
the State that way. In q good many
places in the West they had slips OF
paper printed with Read what Mr..
Blaine says on them. and distributed
them in front of churches on Sandy.
That is what lost me the then elec
ton. You know, of course, how
close it was. Well, in New York
City alone it lost me several Thousand
votes-a good deal more than enough
to have carried the State. | have
never felt sure that [ was not elected
1t was matter of less than 600
votes to have turned New York the
other way. When it is as close as
that there can be no certainty Of the
count. | do not think it can ever be
said with certainty which one of US
really got the most votes"
The report, which occupies about
five columns of the World, embraces
many other points, not political,
concerning Mr.. Blaine and his
views.
